Product Information

Each type of clothing in a 1920s closet had a certain set of guidelines as to when they were to be worn. What were the “rules” for morning dress, afternoon dress, and evenings? What about going to school or working? Ten 1920s Outfit ideas– Looks inspired by the 1920s costumes in the Downton Abbey TV series. Day, sporty, summer and winter looks. The first two years of the 1920s reflected the same fashion as the late Edwardian period with a natural waistline, full sleeves, and ankle length dresses. Fashions were easy to wear, pretty, and feminine. Zappos– I enjoy the online selection of 1920s style shoe at Zappos. Look at heels and oxfords for all day styles. Casual/work: Historical Emporium carries early 20s style trousers with suspender buttons already sewn in.

A woman’s long hair, what had been for centuries her pride and joy, was now meeting cutting shears for the first time. The new look was the bob cut. Short, ear length curly hair in the early years gave way to smooth finger waved styles by 1930.

1920s  Style Jewelry

Feather boa, beaded cape, fur stole, or fringe shawl covered shoulders in a dramatic way. Shop them here. In the media, makeup was still being talked about as a bad thing, yet the majority of young and middle-aged women were wearing at least face powder on a daily basis. Face lotions, potions and skin treatments were being marketed to correct skin imperfections, while makeup was seen as a tool to accent natural beauty — not cover up problems.

Suits: Three-piece suits with wide lapels and high rise cuffed trousers in stripes, plaid, tweed, and wool suiting. Avoid open-toe sandals or wedge heels if you want to be authentic. 1920s shoes had a mid-heel that was sturdy, not too thin, and came with straps — one, two or many. It was also common to wear a wide silk scarf like bands wrapped around the head but exposing the crown. These, like narrow ribbons, were sometime adorned with beads and feathers on the right side.Suspenders– Striped elastic suspenders or leather work suspender kept pants held up. A thin leather belt was also an option for casual outfits. The Roaring Twenties were a golden era of fashion. WWI left women desiring a simple, comfortable lifestyle and a fashion style that reflected the new modern age, where young women outnumbered the older Edwardian generation. 1920s fashion was made for by the young and free spirited youth who discarded their corsets and showed off their jazz dancing legs. Casual Outfits– When you don’t want to be a flapper, choose a casual look instead. This guide will give you ideas.
